PS1: Lost in quotes!!!

[andrej hocevar <ah@siol.net>]

I'm losing my temper here -- why did the first prompt work normally
and the second looks fine, yet if I try to type more than one line,
it doesn't start a new one but starts overwriting the very same one
instead!?

#FIRST, WORKING PROMPT:

#SECOND, NON-WORKING ONE:
export PS1="[\l::\W]"'$(jbs)'" \n[${BLUE}\h${NC}] "
